Sure, during an election year, the
candidates themselves take up residence under a microscope. But here’s
something that you might not have known about Democratic National Convention speakersBill Clinton and Michelle Obama.

You probably knew that Broccoli Bill wentvegan, since he’s fond of telling people how much better he looks and feels. And maybe
you heard Wolf Blitzer report that Bill hadn’t lost his pizzazz—he’d just lost
his pizza! But did you know that he was PETA’s Person of the Year in 2010?

Yep, the vegan in chief won for saving animals’ lives and proving that even former hamburger fanatics can thrive on a vegan diet. As
Bill himself wrote to PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk, “I’ve been feeling
great since I adopted my plant-based diet!”

Speaking of saving animals’ lives, did
you know that we have a FLOTUS who doesn’t wear fur?

P.S. Did you also know that Matthew
Scully, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s speechwriter and the author of Dominion, is a vegetarian?

PETA promotes and
educates the public on the benefits of a vegan diet. PETA does not directly or
indirectly participate in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition
to any candidate for public office.
